    @Ana - thanks

    Right. I suppose there's no Puerto Ricans in NY or NJ or Florida.

    Obama's fate with hispanics was sealed long ago. He won less than 45% of their vote in Illinois for Godsakes and less than 22% in California. A kiss of death for anyone with a brain - which would exclude of course the radical fringe left whose idea of a campaign is to find the most unelectable candidate possible.

    I thought the DNC understood that the historic growth and hispanic momentum shouldn't be slapped in the face and discarded. By that alone they destined themselves an obsolete party.
